This is fair, but it is also important to be in the habit of knowing about CLI arguments early on.

Back in High school when I was taught both C++ and Java, teachers would have us type in public static void main(String args[]) without really understanding why, either.

Beginners do not need to understand everything right away in order to simply "do" something. In another Universe, a C student goes his whole life without learning about the argument vector and misses an important concept early on :D
